Anyone can go to a county court house or other place where court records are stored and lookup these public records themselves. However, it is time consuming and sometimes courts have fees for accessing certain public records. Nowadays it is much easier to lookup public records online through a third party background retrieval company like CriminalBackgroundRecords.com. For a small fee one can look up their own criminal history or search for other public records like eviction records. The site has added a new Public Records webpage to help browsers and users understand what a public record is and some of the rules that apply for using certain public records for employment screening and other uses. To learn more about Public Records and restrictions that apply for certain uses of such information visit the Public Records webpage found at: http://www.criminalbackgroundrecords.com/public-records.html
